Movie Review: the best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
one of the best war movies ever made-i dont care what the wussies on here say!!plenty of realistic action!!!if you want graphic battle scenes,that put you there in the action--as it most likely happened in reality=--get this!!and be sure to play it thru your 5-1 surround movie system for sound impact- if you want a talky chaste movie--DONT get it-- its one of the best for raw action--no punches pulled!!realistic battle scenes- you will sit on the edge of your seat!get the blu ray edition-but be advised=this blu ray is missing 9 minutes over the directors cut--you lose the scene where cage gets bayonetted near the end and the scene where the marine and the jap soldier fight while entwined in netting in a hole-but the blu ray is stunning!!in short=this is a stunning movie--as if you yourself were there!on the battle field-fighting for your life-you can FEEL the intensity-fighting -NOT for god and country-- but for your very LIFE!put yourself in these battles--as if YOU were there and FEEL the intensity!if you are doubtful about buying--all i can say is if you love true action and realistic war movies--=give it a try--you may be pleasently surprised
Summary of Windtalkers [Blu-ray]
In the brutal World War II Battle of Saipan, Sergeant Joe Enders (Academy AwardÂ(r) winner*Nicolas Cage) guardsand ultimately befriendsBen Yahzee (Adam Beach), a young Navajo trained in the one wartime code never broken by the enemy, the Navajo Code. But if Yahzee should fall into Japanese hands, how far will Enders go to save the military's most powerful secret? John Woodirects this "exciting" (Premiere),Having earned Hollywood's respect with blockbusters like Face/Off and Mission: Impossible 2, Hong Kong action master John Woo lends his signature style to serious World War II action in Windtalkers. Recognizing the long-forgotten contribution of Navajo "code talkers," whose use of an unbreakable Navajo-language radio code was instrumental in defeating the Japanese, the film serves as an admirable tribute to those Native American heroes. Unfortunately, it falls short of importance with its standard-issue story about a battle-scarred sergeant (Nicolas Cage) assigned to protect a code-talker (Adam Beach, from Smoke Signals), with unspoken orders to kill him if Japanese capture is imminent. This allows for an involving drama of hard-won friendship, but cardboard supporting characters suffer in the shadow of nonstop action that's as repetitious as it is technically impressive. Windtalkers is best appreciated as a more substantial vehicle for Woo's trademark ballet of bullets. --Jeff Shannon
